If you earned a quiz or exam grade that is making you rethink all of your life choices, pause. Think about what you have done, up to this point, to succeed in your classes. Do adjustments need to be made? Check your syllabus to see how badly a low grade on one quiz/exam damages your overall grade in a given class. Whatever you do, do not make a hasty decision. The last day to withdraw or to apply the S/U grading option to a semester-length class is November 6. There is more information about these options under the registration menu on this blog.

I will not be available October 9-14

Prepping for Winter and Spring 2018 Very soon, the Registrar's Office will post every students' registration date and time. New Danes: Every student has their own date and time. Some students have priority registration and will be able to enroll in Spring and Winter classes on October 18. Everyone else's date and time will be determined by how many credits they have. No one will be able to register without, first meeting with their academic advisor. I often say, there is no AVN without a plan.

While we are waiting for the registration dates, you should know how to:

Access and understand your degree audit.Have you seen your degree audit? Your degree audit outlines everything that you will need to do in order to graduate from UAlbany. If you are undecided, but are thinking about several majors, your advisor probably listed a few majors on your degree audit, so that you could see what would be required.

Register.There are two ways to register. If you are new to UAlbany, you may have never even seen the registration screen on MyUAlbany. Let us rectify that!

Our Peer Advisors can help you learn/relearn how to do all of the above. NO APPOINTMENT is needed. They are available 9am-5pm M-Th, and 9-11:30am, 12pm-5pm on Fridays.

Munch with the MajorsIf you have plans on Wednesday, September 27, at 6:30 pm, you should rearrange them. This event is incredible if you are looking for a chance to get to find out all about your intended major or if you just wanted to learn about potential majors. Faculty from ALL of our majors are available to answer in-depth questions. Almost all of the advisors in ASC will be there too. There will be lots of apple treats, and, if this is like the last time, a hot cocao bar. Yummy Yum.

I used to want to study law after I graduate. My original plan was to finish the course that my parents wanted me to study and then I will go straight to law school after. Right now, I feel like backing out because of all the news that I have read about lawyers. It is just so disappointing to see how many lawyers are willing to give up their morals just for money. Even if they know that they are defending a criminal, they still do so for the sake of money and I just do not want to be like that.

There are so many types of law from which to specialize: Patent law, entertainment, digital media, immigration, civil rights, environmental, real estate, and more. Some lawyers enter the field of public policy, assisting with the development or regulation of local, state, or federal legislation. Were you primarily interested in criminal law? As this society becomes increasingly litigious, the need for socially conscious lawyers increases. You can maintain your integrity and still pursue law. If you attend UAlbany, contact our Pre-Law adivisors for more information: prelaw@albany.edu. If not, see if your school has a pre-law advisor. Go to www.lsac.org to find out about law fairs happening near you and express your concerns. Ask about the different options you have. Get the info you need to be confident about your decision to continue toward law school or to change course.
